Exceptions for enrolment

For students who cannot enter Germany due to corona restrictions, the SCS has made off-campus enrollment possible. The completed application for enrollment, the notification of admission and payment of the semester fee of 155 euros are required. The proof of health insurance and the residence permit must be presented as soon as the students have entered Germany, but no later than the end of summer semester 2020. Enrollment is subject to a re-registration block for winter semester 20/21, which will be lifted as soon as these documents are available.See Matriculation for International Students

Tuition fees for international students will be waived if they take a leave of absence – Do I still receive vouchers?

If you do not pay tuition fees, you will not receive further vouchers. However, you can make use of the vouchers you have not used so far and which do not lose their validity. Please send an email to voucher@service.uni-freiburg.de to check how many vouchers you currently have available. Each voucher allows you to take part in a course with approximately two hours per week during the semester (e.g. 90min course per week during the lecture period). Complex courses may require the use of several vouchers. A cash payout is not possible!
